What will be the next fad once the VC dummies figure out that chat bots aren't very useful? (hexbear.net)

Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I'd like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

Why be on video when for the majority of people and conversations, just voice is 100% as good and you don't have to be seen? People hate being perceived, that's why people hate work zoom calls so specifically. "This could have been a phone call or email."

Anecdotally, I think there's a neurotypical-neurodivergent divide on video calls, but it's definitely understudied.
